EAST BREMERTON — A 44-year-old Silverdale woman and a 14-year-old Silverdale girl were flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for serious injuries suffered in a Wednesday afternoon crash on Highway 303 near Winters Road, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Troopers said the woman, driving a Chevrolet Malibu south on the highway about 3 p.m., had attempted to make an illegal left turn across the northbound lanes of traffic and into a parking lot. But a Ford Probe headed north hit the Malibu’s passenger’s side, troopers said.

A third passenger in the car, a 2-year-old girl, was taken to Harrison Medical Center as a precaution, troopers said.

The Probe’s 21-year-old driver, of Bremerton, was not injured.

The collision blocked the road for three hours and 20 minutes, troopers said. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be factors in the crash, and all involved were wearing seat belts.
